tweaking tips for your config file As your botnet grows bigger and you have to maintain more and more bots with their config files, you might render those little tweaking tips usefull, since they can make your life configuring, maintaining and adding of bots lot's of easier. well, here we go: - config file split You can export parts of your config file to seperate files. For example, if you have several config files which differ from themselfes only by the nickname and the used servers, you can export them to an own file and link it with the 'source' command, similar to a script. The advance of this trick is, that you have to edit / upload only the small file instead of the big one. This technique is also usefull if you want to maintain always the same channel settings, etc. - variable usage in the config file you can use variables in your config file since it's a plain tcl file. For example, you can set 'userfile' and 'chanfile' to "$myvar" and define $myvar in the first line by 'set myvar "yourbotname"'. By this way, you can maintain your files by changing just one line.
